Come on!!!! Surely they can do better than that? This is want they are going with? That Biden owns the insurrectionists. That the MAGAts this fascist barbie helped incite are all about Biden. They are going try and rewrite history with this nonsense and make it stick? LOL
I love the smell of far right desperation with my morning cup of tea.

I completely agree with you. It became clear to me during the rise of Fox/Rove era that their propaganda had become self actualized in a way. There were still powers that be in control and they used their media to crush as needed. If you misstepped their media could ignore you or worse put you away. Now the media options are multiplied and Fox is no longer the filter. These characters are popping up and out outraging each other. Once one line gets out there they all repeat it and then someone upstages the rest....who follow suit. Hayley voting against a hate crime is a perfect example - how will Cruz and probably Rand respond?
Characters like Boebert and Empty Greene have been around but they were fringe elements left by their own party to just do their own thing. Theyve usurped Gohmert in their outrage and ridiculousness. The things Steve King did to get booted out just a few years ago now would make him the talk of the airwaves until someone else leapfrogged him to go further out on the fringe.
